Wedding Party
Bridesmaids
These are the ladies who have supported Kimberly and played a big role in her life. She is a big fan of these "long-term, long-distance, low-commitment, friendships" (sentence inspired by Barbie).
Celine Lumowa - Bridesmaid
Though bullied by Kimberly in grade school, Celine became the go-to girl to talk about life and love. They both are in a WhatsApp group chat titled, "Roast Session," with the sole purpose of 'manifesting' Kimberly and Xander's relationship. Celine was also promised a speech at their wedding if there was ever to be one. Oh man, look how far we've come.
Janealine Mata - Bridesmaid
Small, yet mighty, Janealine is a dedicated wife and badminton player/fan. Fun fact, their fathers used to be roommates. When Kimberly moved back to Colorado after college, Janealine brought the joy and care that was greatly needed during tough times. Through playing badminton together, Kimberly learned the power of teamwork and grew her racket skills when watching Janealine destroy her opponents.
Melody Nelwan - Bridesmaid
Ex-roomate. They've traveled to Indonesia like six times together. This girl gives Kimberly the excuse to see Justin Bieber once a month since she is a worship leader at his church. 10/10 would recommend.
Kelly Kimura - Bridesmaid
One-half of the 'KK Run Club,' Kelly is a mean pickler, cycler, and walker. Kimberly often spends her twilight hours with Kelly in 100-degree SoCal summer weather exploring the hills of Redlands by bike. Kelly is a certified silly goose.
Chelsea Ticonuwu - Bridesmaid
Another girl who fell victim to Kimberly's bullying, Chelsea was an unofficial roommate in high school. One day, Kimberly found a rodent in her room and decided to sleep in Chelsea's room every night from then on. Now that they live in the same state, Chelsea and Kimberly can be found at Pho Ha or Raising Canes enjoying the delicacies of Loma Linda night life.
Mayachika Mayachika - Bridesmaid
Mayachika first met Kimberly through a WhatsApp group chat in 2020, whose purpose was to promote exercise accountability during the COVID-19 lockdown. Since then, they've completed the Maui Marathon together. Mayachika is a boss lady who has provided great mentorship, friendship, and comfort during Kimberly's tough times.
